It is now at-tiled. Mr. IJIaine will

Ed. Corriran, a brutal reflian, made
a cowardly assiilt on lr. M. Munford,

act of a coward, as the attack was made

It is all a mistake to suppose that the
democratic nomination for governor of
the Treat State of Missouri is going to
ofl'er itself to Judge Norton unsolicited.
The fact is that the young democracy
of the state will have something to say
in the matter, and this element want
to see a chief Executive of the slate
who is a "rustier;" a man w ho will
make his intluence felt from Maine to
California. Is Norton such a man?
Soma person has mentioned Y. A.
Yeiiuer, of Stttbolnriy, & a suitable
man for Lieutenant governor on the
democratic ticket. The first time we ev
er saw YYeinier was at the democratic

tled tbat Mr. ltlaine will again bead
